When the Model 48 Custom Sporter was introduced in 2006, it was only available in one cartridge chambering, the 270 WSM. The hand-laid Kevlar® and carbon fiber stock was finished in a speckled "Onyx Gray" color, while the metal work was finished in a non-reflective Slate Gray Cerakote®. Over the years that followed, the cartridge offerings were expanded to include a great number of cartridges ranging from the 22-250 Rem to the 35 Whelen. In 2012 the rifle shed it's "Sporter" designation, and was expanded to include a number of custom options and new cartridges, for the opportunity to create your own specially built Nosler rifle. The rifle is now available with more options than ever, as well as the ability to have the rifle assembled in a package complete with top-of-the-line optics and shooting accessories. Also available are a number of rifle packages that we have assembled to suit various hunting conditions and environments, in the most popular and well-suited cartridge chamberings for each respective package.

Through years of hunting and the sometimes monumental task of cleaning rifles, we have found that stock finishes are very susceptible to a number of cleaning chemicals. Many products are available to help reduce spilling of chemicals, but it seems unavoidable that to some degree—you cannot contain all of the mess. With this in mind, we set out to find a stock coating that would resist chemicals, and help protect the rifle from field-wear. We finally found a compound that can be added to the Model 48 Custom stock that suited our needs. It can resist a number of standard cleaning chemicals and serves as an invisible barrier against many superficial stock scratches that can make a rifle appear worn. In addition to providing superior protection, this Teflon® based coating provides additional texture for a better grip in cold or wet conditions.

A hand-laid Kevlar® and carbon fiber stock supports the Nosler Model 48 action which is glass and pillar bedded. The stock is incredibly strong and lightweight—this is a result of the careful weave of materials that prevent any voids or weak points from forming. Your choice of color:

Choose Cerakote Color

All external metal surfaces are coated with the NIC Industries Cerakote™ finish. Designed to protect against rust and wear, Cerakote™ products can withstand tremendous impact with no coating loss, and can resist corrosion in a variety of tough conditions. We have found Cerakote™ to be the best firearms finish available to date. Your choice of color:
